Mike and Maeve were down at his parents' house for the weekend, helping build a house for his aunt and uncle. And Sunday morning, Maeve was going to go with Mike to the job site since she didn't want to go to church. But she also didn't want to go to the job site...so she settled on staying with Gran and going to church. Mike warned his mother that Maeve is, to put it bluntly, a spazz at church.
They met up at lunch at Mike asked how it went. Wonderfully, his mom told him. She was just fine. "And afterward as we were leaving, she turned to me and said, 'That was short!'"
Ah well. Here's a hope and prayer that my kids learn to appreciate good liturgy as opposed to simply short liturgy (although short does have its place).

short especially has its place with children. one of the reasons, i think, my children prefer their father's denomination to mine. even thought it's boring. :(
